It is so fun for me to see how my older girls love, and adore Pemberlynn. Unfortunately, along with this love came the passing of germs. I tried to be really careful but Pemberlynn ended up catching a cold that the other girls had. It didn't seem to bad until Sunday night. We had been home from a family dinner for about an hour and Pemberlynn started to cough so badly that she wasn't able to breath. She started to go blue around her mouth and her eyes were watering really bad. Needless to say, it scared the HOLY CRAP out of me! So I took her to the pediatric after hours to be looked at. After the doctor had looked at her, he told me that I needed to take her over to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center to be monitored over night. Talk about anxiety! So, I took her over there and they started taking all of her vitals, which in babies they take their blood pressure on both of there arms and both of their legs (she did not like that at all). After they did their initial assessment, they set us up in a room to wait for some tests to be done. Once we got to our room a respiratory therapist came in and stuck a tube up Pemberlynn's nose and down her throat and sucked a whole bunch of junk out. It was really hard and sad to watch them hold her down while she cried and gagged :( They took the junk to send off to be tested for all kinds of things. After that they hooked her up to some different wires that monitored her oxygen levels and other things. Then they did a chest x-ray to see if her lungs had fluid in them. Finally they were done for awhile. By this time it is about 1:00am, and Pemberlynn would not go to sleep if I laid her down in the crib, and since she was attached to a bunch of wires I had to sit in the chair next to the crib and hold her the entire night. I didn't sleep at all. But I am ok with this because all of her tests came back good and she is recovering well. It was such a scary thing because they are so little, and things can happen so fast. I 'm just glad that we have her and that she is healthy! Here are a few pictures that I took while I was there. (they had the cutest little gowns for babies).
